84870 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 6, 2023 / Notices 

publish the annual Special 301 Report 

about April 26, 2024. 

II. Public Comments 

To facilitate this year’s review, 

written comments should be as detailed 

as possible and provide all necessary 

information to identify and assess the 

effect of the acts, policies and practices. 

USTR invites written comments that 

provide specific references to laws, 

regulations, policy statements, 

including innovation policies, 

executive, presidential or other orders, 

and administrative, court or other 

determinations that should factor into 

the review. USTR also requests that, 

where relevant, submissions mention 

particular regions, provinces, states or 

other subdivisions of a country in which 

an act, policy or practice is believed to 

warrant special attention. Finally, 

submissions proposing countries for 

review should include data, loss 

estimates, and other information 

regarding the economic impact on the 

United States, U.S. industry, and the 

U.S. workforce caused by the denial of 

adequate and effective IP protection. 

Comments that include quantitative loss 

claims should include the methodology 

used to calculate the estimated losses. 

III. Public Hearing 

The Special 301 Subcommittee will 

convene a public hearing on February 

21, 2024, in Rooms 1 and 2, 1724 F 

Street NW, Washington, DC, at which 

interested persons, including 

representatives of foreign governments, 

may appear to provide oral testimony. If

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Application for 

Certificate of Waiver or Authorization 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection. This collection affects 

persons who have a need to deviate 

from certain regulations that govern use 

of airspace within the United States. 

The request also describes the burden 

associated with authorizations to make 

parachute jumps and operate unmanned 

aircraft (including moored balloons, 

kites, unmanned rockets, and 

unmanned free balloons) and small 

unmanned aircraft systems. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by February 5, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0027. 

Title: Application for Certificate of 

Waiver or Authorization. 

Form Numbers: FAA form 7711–2. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Background: The information 

collected by FAA Form 7711–2, 

Application for Certificate of Waiver or 

Authorization, is reviewed and analyzed 

by the FAA to determine the type and 

extent of the intended deviation from 

prescribed regulations. A certificate of 

waiver or authorization to deviate is 

generally issued to the applicant 

(individuals and businesses) if the 

proposed operation does not create a 

hazard to persons, property, or other 

aircraft, and includes the operation of 

unmanned aircraft. Applications for 

certificates of waiver to the provisions 

of parts 91 and 101 are made by using 

FAA Form 7711–2. Application for 

authorization to make parachute jumps 

(other than emergency or military 

operations) under part 105, section 

105.15 (airshows and meets) also uses 

FAA Form 7711–2. Application for 

other types of parachute jumping 

activities are submitted in various ways; 

e.g., in writing, in person, by telephone, 

etc. 

Persons authorized to deviate from 

provisions of part 101 are required to 

give notice of actual activities. Persons 

operating in accordance with the 

provisions of part 101 are also required 

to give notice of actual activities. In both 

instances, the notice of information 

required is the same. Therefore, the 

burden associated with applications for 

certificates of waiver or authorization 

and the burden associated with notices 

of actual aircraft activities are identified 

and included in this request for 

clearance. 

Regarding operation of small 

unmanned aircraft systems under part 

107, to obtain a certificate of waiver, an 

applicant will have to submit a request 

containing a complete description of the 

proposed operation and a justification, 

including supporting data and 

documentation as necessary that 

establishes that the proposed operation 

can safely be conducted under the terms 

of a certificate of waiver. The FAA 

expects that the amount of data and 

analysis required as part of the 

application will be proportional to the 

specific relief that is requested.
